Page 113 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

I looked at Dimitri and took a deep breath. He was standing by the window and staring at the forest. He almost left to go find her, but I stopped him. I couldn’t let him go until he was completely focused. I couldn’t let anything happen to him. I was his Beta and I needed to protect him. I couldn’t let him get hurt. Maddie would kill me if I let him get hurt.

“Dimitri…,” I called him, but he interrupted me.

“Gather every fucking Alpha and bring them into the throne room,” Dimitri said, his voice void of any emotion. “I am keeping them hostage until we find her.”

I looked at Mike and gulped.

“You can’t…,” Mike started speaking, but Dimitri interrupted him again.

“One of them took her,” he said, turning around to look at us. “They will bring her back to me, or I will burn them all. They will fucking burn together with that throne they wanted so fucking bad.”

Dimitri looked like a shell of himself. Every emotion in his eyes was gone. He looked like he aged in the last half an hour. He looked like he was on the verge of breaking.

“If you accuse them…,” I tried to reason with him, but he interrupted me with an order.

“Gather them,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me. “Right the fuck now.”

I had no other choice, but to listen to him. My body started moving on its own. I took a deep breath and released it slowly as I walked downstairs. Every packhouse worker and every single warrior I passed asked about Maddie. All of them had tears in their eyes. All of them looked so worried. I had to ignore them if I ever wanted to make my way to the throne room.

We will find her.I mind-linked them all, trying to sound confident.Just go do your jobs, okay? Your Alpha needs you to keep everything in order. That’s the best you can do to help him.

I walked inside the throne room and saw that every single one of our guests was already there.

“Will!” Alpha Theodore exclaimed. “Where is our Queen?”

They are all here, Dimitri. I mind-linked him, but he didn’t respond.

“Who took her?” Alpha Lucius asked. “How the hell did they get inside the pack?”

“We need to search the forest?” Alpha Alistair said. “Did you send anyone there yet?”

I raised my hands, motioning for them to stop. I couldn’t answer all of their questions at the same time.

“We sent our warriors to find her,” I said calmly. “We don’t know who…”

I was interrupted when the door burst open and a very angry Dimitri ran inside. He wasn’t void of any emotion anymore. He was filled with anger. Mike was behind him and he looked as angry as Dimitri.

Ali?I mind-linked Mike.

She is still asleep.He responded.Ellie stayed with her.

I gulped and forced myself to focus back on Dimitri.

“One of you took her and I want her back,” Dimitri growled loudly. “I swear to Goddess, I will fucking burn you alive if you don’t bring my mate back to me.”

He narrowed his eyes, looking around the room and growling. Some of our guests gasped. Everyone was shocked.

“I know that one of you is…,” he spoke, but he suddenly stopped talking.

I furrowed my brows and looked at him. He was looking around gritting his teeth and clenching his fists tightly.

“Where is Alpha Jack?” Dimitri asked and my heart stopped beating.

I looked at our guests, but I couldn’t find Alpha Jack. I couldn’t see his Beta or his Luna either.

“Where the fuck is Alpha Jack?!” Dimitri screamed, making everyone flinch and bow their heads.

His aura filled the room to the point where I started sweating. His anger was making it hard for all of us to breathe.
